"Disappointment"  03/01/13

This is my 3rd pair of Timberland boots. While happy with my first pair (lasted me roughly 8 years of light hiking and day-to-day use). I've been disappointed in the diminished quality of the two boots I've purchased since then, including this boot. My use has not changed, but issues that didn't appear in my first pair until having the boot for 6 or 7 years began appearing one or two months after purchase. The toe cap is pulling away from the leather, the EVA midsole is beginning to gap from the leather and the lace-locks are loose and seem like they could come out. If you're considering these boots, I'd highly recommend looking at other brands and other boots of a similar price.
